What do you mean by 'latest battery technology'? Still has 18650, right? I'm going to test drive a new Model S tomorrow and just want to be informed.

This is why I replaced my 20" Uberturbines with 19" Sport V2. It wasn't 'if' I would bend a wheel, but 'when'. I previously had the original 20" Performance wheels on my '20 M3P. I never had a blowout with those, but the ride was always bad. And the Uberturbines are 9" wide vs 8.5" so the...

Purple tint still there on the 32.7 update.

The purple tint is not related to the actual light output of the blinker. Sometimes it looks fine for 20 seconds, other times it's immediately purple and stays that way.

No one is talking about the 'light bleed issue' on this thread. Just the purple tint. Which got bad with 32.4 and is not better with 32.6 that I got yesterday.

I got 2023.32.4 yesterday on my '23 Model 3. While the overall color of the side cameras is better, the occasionally have a very noticeable purple tint when using the blinker. It's hard to replicate, but happens regularly.

Holy cow one of mine does too! Although it's not as bad as yours, and I can't confirm 100% it's an actual fingerprint. I'm going to call it a 'smudge' so it doesn't drive me bonkers :)

Mobile service just swapped out both lights. Zero hassles. Since it's only 80ºF today, there's no way to test to see if the issue is resolved.

Are you sure it's the A/C 'on', or are you just hearing your car spinning fans in the garage?

Well I was able to capture it on video today for ticket submission, and schedule a mobile appointment for next week. I wasn't keen on the idea of actually taking it into the service center, but since they can come to me, I don't have much to lose.

I'm not sure if it's worth the headache. It would be difficult for Tesla to reproduce, as the car needs to be sitting in ~110ºF+ temps for a sustained period, then quickly be in a scenario where the lights must come on before the headlights naturally cool off. It's not a safety issue.

Nice. So you would do it all over again? Does the dip wear/flake off just with age, or does it take an actual impact to make it look bad? Can you link to the product you used?

Any updates? 2023.26.8 didn't 100% resolve for me. Car was outside for 30+ min on a hot (105ºF) day and there was flickering when I pulled into my garage. The outside of the headlights felt very hot, as expected.

Are those the OEM sport V2s, just painted black? If so, how did you paint/dip?

By definition, Tesla let the press drive/review specific Highland cars that the public cannot buy, and does not have access to. Hence, they can literally be defined as ‘press cars’.
